This book was released on 1973 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A semiempirical expression for boundary-layer transition location is developed based on the concept of a critical ratio of inertial to viscous shearing stresses at laminar breakdown. Extensive comparisons between predicted and measured transition locations on a 10-deg included-angle cone at transonic speeds are shown with the data predicted to within 10%. Comparisons are also made with low subsonic and supersonic data which indicate the method is extendible to these flow regimes. (Author).
